Air fryer

learntocookchinese | Jan 3, 202002:52 PM 7

I've been thinking about getting an 8 QT Instant Pot. (I have the 6 QT.) I've also been thinking about getting an air fryer.

I see the Instant Pot Duo Crisp is both a pressure cooker and an air fryer. How does the Duo Crisp air fryer compare to the Instant Pot Vortex Pro Air Fryer?

How do those compare to the Breville Smart Oven Air?

If I get the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, it would replace my 6 QT Instant Pot.
If I get the Breville Smart Oven Air, it would replace my current toaster oven.

An air fryer is just an induction toaster oven with a larger fan (from the same brand (and not all the time)) and a fryer basket (although some oven/air fryers don't come with the basket).

They all work the same way though, move hot air around the food to crisp up the outer surface.
